We present here the complete 16,338 nucleotide DNA sequence of the bovine mitochondrial
genome. This sequence is homologous to that of the human mitochondrial genome …

The complete sequence of the 16,295 bp mouse L cell mitochondrial DNA genome has
been determined. Genes for the 12s and 16s ribosomal RNAs; 22 tRNAs; cytochrome c …

The complete sequence of the 17,553-nucleotide Xenopus laevis mitochondrial genome
has been determined. A comparison of this amphibian mitochondrial genomic sequence …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes structural features and evolution of metazoan
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecules. Throughout the evolution of metazoa, gene content …

Mitochondrial DNA from bovine tissue contains heterogeneous sequences located within an
evolutionary conserved cytosine homopolymer sequence near the 5'end of the D-loop …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an up-to-date account of the organization,
structure, and evolution of mammalian mitochondrial genes, with the belief that the …

Animal mitochondrial DNA is a small, extrachromosomal genome, typically∼ 16 kb in size.
With few exceptions, all animal mitochondrial genomes contain the same 37 genes: two for …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the structural diversity of mitochondrial
chromosomes, particularly the variations of size and structure resulting from rearrangements …

Evidence for the existence of a vertebrate mitochondrial genome first arose over 30 years
ago. Application of emerging techniques of molecular biology established the structure of …

Thirty-three phage clones carrying DNAs homologous to human mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA) were isolated from two independently constructed human gene libraries, and the …
